In the third stage, final reduction of MnO by carbon occurs. This stage has the lowest reduction rate (Eric and Burucu, 1992), most likely due to the slow diffusion of Mn 2+ ions in the monoxide phase, and/or liquid silicate phase coating the monoxide phase. In the second and third reduction stages manganese is reduced from the liquid silicate phase and from the …
